Career threads

Beyond the numbers

653 matches across nine competitions

Pollard has appeared in the IPL, CPL, PSL, ILT20, BBL, BPL, MLC, ODIs and T20 Internationals. That breadth of franchise cricket, spread across three continents, puts his 14,034 career runs and 265 wickets in sharp context.

PSL and ILT20 are his richest batting formats

Pollard averages 39.62 in the Pakistan Super League (49 matches, strike rate 162.29) and 44.25 in the International League T20 (30 matches, strike rate 157.75). Both figures sit comfortably above his career batting average of 29.99.

Chennai Super Kings bring out his best batting

Across 23 matches against Chennai Super Kings, Pollard averages 38.87 at a strike rate of 171.98, with 14 wickets at an economy of 8.74. It is one of the most productive head-to-head records in his data.

Wankhede Stadium is his most-played and most productive venue

In 56 matches at the Wankhede, Pollard has made 1,296 runs at an average of 30.14 and a strike rate of 156.71, adding 23 wickets. No other ground in his record comes close for volume.

Recent form suggests cameos rather than anchoring innings

In his last 10 appearances across the ILT20 and SA20, Pollard's highest score was 44 not out off 31 balls. Most contributions have been brief accelerations, consistent with a middle-to-lower-order role.
